Hi All

On 19 December, 2023 I posted my then updated list of 50 companies and institutions which have been confirmed as engaged with Brainchip either by Press Release, academic papers, ASX announcements or direct communications with the Director Investor Relations or the CEO Sean Hehir.

Today I updated my list with the disclosures since 19 December, 2023 and it has now reached 55 so I thought as new or potential investors could be looking at Brainchip as a result of this weeks price action it might be a useful first step before they dig into Neuromorphia’s magnum opus via ‘Brainchip AKIDA Ecosystem’ thread:

Hi All
Not sure if this has been shared but it has come up with a revised date on a search this morning probably because they have the event in two days they promote after the article. The excitement by this techie publication regarding the release of AKIDA 2.0 with TENNS is worthwhile to relive if you have read it previously in my opinion:

BrainChip Unveils Second-Generation Akida Platform for Edge AI Advancements​

By
Niharika Singh
-
October 8, 2023

In an era marked by an insatiable appetite for artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, BrainChip, a pioneer in neural network processors, has taken a significant stride towards empowering edge devices with unprecedented processing power. The company’s latest unveiling, the second-generation Akida platform, represents a ground breaking leap in the realm of Edge AI, delivering the potential to liberate devices from cloud dependency.

The initial glimpse of BrainChip’s original Akida neuromorphic processing technology at the Linley Fall Processor Conference in 2019 paved the way for a journey that materialized in the form of development kits for the general public in 2021. In March 2023, there was an announcement of Akida 2.0, a refinement promising support for Temporal Event-Based Neural Network (TENN) acceleration and optional vision transformer hardware. This enhancement not only amplifies the platform’s capabilities but also lightens the computational load on the host processor. BrainChip classified Akida 2.0 into three distinct product classes: Akida-E, prioritizing energy efficiency; Akida-S, designed for seamless integration into microcontroller units and systems-on-chips; and Akida-P, a high-performance range supplemented by optional vision transformer acceleration.

Now, BrainChip has initiated an “early access” program, granting access to the Akida 2.0 intellectual property (IP) and promising an “order of magnitude” improvement in compute density through TENNs support. This transformative leap is a testament to the inevitable shift towards Multimodal Edge AI, a trend intensifying the demands on intelligent computing at the Edge. Researchers laud this development, emphasizing that BrainChip’s second-generation Akida aligns precisely with the critical requisites of performance, efficiency, accuracy, and reliability necessary to expedite this transition.

Central to the Akida 2.0 platform are the TENNs, offering a staggering “order of magnitude” reduction in model size and computational requirements. This leap in efficiency augurs well for the acceleration of AI adoption and holds the promise of rendering Edge AI solutions more accessible and easy to deploy.

As BrainChip opens the gateway to the Akida 2.0 IP, eager innovators and tech enthusiasts are encouraged to reach out to the company’s sales department for further details. While pricing remains undisclosed at this juncture, the launch timeline for hardware development kits based on the second-generation platform is yet to be confirmed.

In conclusion, BrainChip’s introduction of the second-generation Akida platform is poised to redefine the landscape of Edge AI. With TENNs at its core, this innovation addresses the pressing need for enhanced performance, efficiency, and reliability in Edge computing.

The cake looks fabulous, smells amazzzzing and I was so excited (after doing my research) that I moved the knife to the right and increased my slice by 33% late Friday for 23.5c a share .Very close to my planned comfort zone .20,000 to go . I hope I can get there before the human being jumps out of the cake .

Rogan had another pilot Ryan Graves on last week describing UAP and it made me think what an opportune time to roll-out a new generation of sensors with Akida ready to activate them.

He mentioned they only started to pickup up the objects in 2014 when their instruments were updated which improved observations. Imagine what sensors like from Anduril’s to detect enemy subs in oceans could find.

Long article on SNN. Brainchip not mentioned. But some of the data (SNN Accuracy) comes from one of the authors (Sounak Dey from TSC) papers which did reference Brainchip.

Lots of refences to search.

Hi Romper

Interesting read particularly the reviewer comments and corrections. They are quite long but the third reviewer actually points out the lack of clarity where the work of Mass and Simon Thorpe are concerned. In answering this comment the authors add to the Mass references but completely ignore Thorpe and in so doing ignore integrate and fire SNN.

Not that I can say with absolute certainty that AKIDA type integrate and fire SNN is not covered by any of the references cited but running off memory none jump out to me as having looked at same.

It is almost as if this paper was trying desperately not to in anyway even hint at the existence of integrate and fire SNN or Brainchips AKIDA solution.

Volumes are still low but are increasing, as is the percentage.
American investors may have a problem trying to buy large quantities of shares in USA.
Possibly, as more Americans become aware of Brianchip's Akida they have to find
new places to buy stocks in Brainchip.
Could be interesting to see if they turn up to buy on the ASX next week.. just a thought bubble.

Good work Dugnal

I was wondering about the ADRs yesterday..

BrainChip, is also actually listed on many exchanges around the World, under various codes (Germany being the most well known and on several there).

Around 4 million shares a day, were trading on Germany's largest exchange, during the height of the Mercedes inspired spike.

Tracking the volume on the bigger exchanges, will be a good gauge of International interest, in BRN stock.

And it may be worthwhile, to start doing this.

Rumor: Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Could Happen Next Month

Japanese gaming juggernaut Nintendo will supposedly reveal the successor to its popular Switch handheld, the Switch 2, in March.

gamerant.com

I'm very hopeful on this one Bravo
I think it's pretty obvious that the Switch 2, will be a Generational leap and not just an upgraded product.

Nintendo, is MegaChips most well known customer and I think they would have pushed our tech quite hard (in the Japanese way..).

There was even some BrainChip investor related material, about a couple of years back, that had a graphic of a gaming console controller, that was practically a perfect stylistic match of the Switch (although that could mean nothing at all, realistically speaking)..

I have a question.

I know the ARDs had 40 millio shares dedicated to them also these shares from the past announcement said were not available for loan to short.

Ad the liquidity picks up globally would this draw out liquidity from Australia forcing international house that sold shares to buyers in US and Europe to buy up on the Australian market?

I remember it was like clock work the price traded higher and higher where ever the share started trading.

So does increase price creat a chain reaction to forces house that sold to buyer on another excbange to buy up here hence creating the huge spike?

Be interesting to know the mechanics. I know eventually Australia will not dictate the price of BRN the 25 million population will be dwarfed buy the investment populations in other regions. BRN is making waves globally. I see these values moving north and onnthe right news it could be quick.

Time will tell.

Sadly BRCHF (BrainChip US OTC) in the US is listed on the OTC market and as such don't gather interest from large institutional investors.

They are not allowed to hold OTC over longer periods of time.

It will be mostly retail investors buying.

In order to uplift to Nasdaq they have to be minimum 4 US$ per share as one of the several requirements.

Maybe in a year or two, we will get there, no need to go there before you are on firm ground (solid earnings+high end customers).

Exactly Kachoo

Basic Supply and Demand dynamics.

There are currently 1.727 billion BRN shares in the float.

This is the only float and International demand, if it can't be met locally, must come from the ASX.

This is the same as what will happen, when we are largely profitable and list on the NASDAQ (hopefully within the next few short years).

The Company knows a dual listing, is preferred by shareholders, which means the same 1.727 billion shares, listed on both the ASX and the NASDAQ.

People, have often criticised the large quantity of BRN shares on issue, but on an International basis, it's miniscule and there will likely be a share split, within 3 years of being listed on the NASDAQ (my opinion only).

There are many ways to be listed on the Nasdaq We don't need huge revenue just a valuation.

Trust me when the institution want BRN on the Nasdaq it will be listed pretty quick. Re valued with likely a partner and Bob's your uncle.

When BRN come out of the curtain and those with money see the Technology it will be fast tracked.

To this point I think they have just been trying to sell the story to customers not instos.

The ASX caution well its all about the Nasdaq. That's where the money an liquidity will be. Instos just collecting tickets where the can.

The recent pick up in pace could be that something is brewing
